Abstract

An information sharing method includes that a first redundancy device generates a first supervision frame that includes device information of the first redundancy device, where the first supervision frame detects whether a second redundancy device on a transmission link on which the first redundancy device is located in the redundancy network is in a working state, where the first redundancy device is any redundancy device in the redundancy network; and where the first redundancy device sends the first supervision frame to the second redundancy device in a multicast manner. The device information of the redundancy device is carried in the supervision frame.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method comprising:
 generating a first supervision frame comprising first device information of a first redundancy device, wherein the first device information includes latency information between the first redundancy device and a neighbor redundancy device of the first redundancy device in a redundancy network, wherein the redundancy network is based on a High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol or a Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), wherein the first supervision frame detects whether a second redundancy device on a transmission link on which the first redundancy device is located in the redundancy network is in a working state, and wherein the first supervision frame further comprises a link protocol data unit (LPDU) field carrying the first device information; and 
 sending, to the second redundancy device and in a multicast manner, the first supervision frame. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first supervision frame further comprises an identifier of a target redundancy device, and wherein the identifier instructs the target redundancy device to process the first device information. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein before generating the first supervision frame, the method further comprises obtaining the first device information. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, from a third redundancy device in the redundancy network, a second supervision frame comprising second device information of the third redundancy device; and 
 parsing the second supervision frame to obtain the second device information. 
 
     
     
       5. A first redundancy device in a redundancy network comprising redundancy devices, and wherein the first redundancy device comprises:
 a memory configured to store instructions; and 
 a processor coupled to the memory, wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the first redundancy device to:
 generate a first supervision frame comprising first device information of the first redundancy device, wherein the first device information includes latency information between the first redundancy device and a neighbor redundancy device of the first redundancy device in the redundancy network, wherein the redundancy network is based on a High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol or a Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), wherein the first supervision frame detects whether a second redundancy device on a transmission link on which the first redundancy device is located in the redundancy network is in a working state, and wherein the first supervision frame further comprises a link protocol data unit (LPDU) field carrying the first device information; and 
 send, to the second redundancy device and in a multicast manner, the first supervision frame. 
 
 
     
     
       6. The first redundancy device of  claim 5 , wherein the first supervision frame further comprises an identifier of a target redundancy device, and wherein the identifier instructs the target redundancy device to process the first device information. 
     
     
       7. The first redundancy device of  claim 5 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the first redundancy device to obtain the first device information. 
     
     
       8. The first redundancy device of  claim 5 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the first redundancy device to:
 receive, from a third redundancy device in the redundancy network, a second supervision frame comprising second device information of the third redundancy device; and 
 parse the second supervision frame to obtain the second device information. 
 
     
     
       9. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause a redundancy device in a redundancy network to:
 generate a first supervision frame comprising first device information of a first redundancy device, wherein the first device information includes latency information between the first redundancy device and a neighbor redundancy device of the first redundancy device in the redundancy network, wherein the redundancy network is based on a High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol or a Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), wherein the first supervision frame detects whether a second redundancy device on a transmission link on which the first redundancy device is located in the redundancy network is in a working state, and wherein the first supervision frame further comprises a link protocol data unit (LPDU) field carrying the first device information; and 
 send, to the redundancy devices and in a multicast manner, the first supervision frame. 
 
     
     
       10. The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the first supervision frame further comprises an identifier of a target redundancy device, and wherein the identifier instructs the target redundancy device to process the first device information of the first redundancy device. 
     
     
       11. The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the first redundancy device to obtain the first device information. 
     
     
       12. The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the first redundancy device to:
 receive, from a third redundancy device in the redundancy network, a second supervision frame comprising second device information of the third redundancy device; and 
 parse the second supervision frame to obtain the second device information. 
 
     
     
       13. The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the first redundancy device to obtain the first device information before generating the first supervision frame.
